While it is well within your right to criticize the offerings here at
NukedGallery, please keep one thing in mind when doing so: I run and maintain
this site for free, on my spare time. This includes replying to posts,
offering customized support services to those who request it, upgrading
software as needed, introducing new functionality to the site, and programming
enhancements for Gallery.

My spare time is limited, I just moved into a new house, and my weekends are
consumed with remodelling and renovating. My wife and I are expecting our first
child in 2 months, and a lot of prep work is going into making sure that the
house it ready for her arrival.

The "tone" of your posts ("shoddy block programming", etc) are the types of
things that push owners/maintainers of sites like this to close up shop. You
fail to realize what it takes to run the site, constantly trying to satisfy
everyone at once.

The block listed as TESTING has a forum post directing you how to use it. You
do NOT need whatever "nukewrap" software you are talking about. I do not code
my blocks to rely on third-party software (aside from phpNuke and Gallery, of
course). If you read the relevant post, you'd see how to install/use it. Also,
it is listed as TESTING, which means just that. There are higher priority items
on this site, and I do not have the resources available to me right now to
re-code this block.

As for re-coding other blocks, yes, it will happen. BE PATIENT. I will NOT
program a block to a specific version of phpNuke. When blocks are re-coded,
they will be recoded to work with Gallery 1.5 and a plain phpNuke installation
(I can't account for all the 3rd party additions ie Sentinel, etc that may
adversly effect functionality).

In closing, be patient. Your repeated attacks/barbs at this site and it's
maintainance are growing old, and I'm growing tired and irritated at them. If
you don't like what you get here FOR FREE, so be it. I suppose I could charge
everyone $25 a month for access, thus financing a new development machine. But
I don't. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

The site is disorganized with little effort to indicate which version of Gallery the blocks will work for. I am not the only person to think so.

The moment people like me that actually pay attention to the site stop coming and stop criticising, is the moment that your site becomes obsolete.

Obviously, I visit the site often, and am enthusiastic about its offerings, and am open to financially subsidize its development. If throwing money at the site and the solution grants me the right to vocalize criticisms, I will do so.

If my opinion is that the programming of the blocks could be better, I will find a more constructive ways to say it; however, I stand by my posts. PHP should not need to be allocated >16MB for a Random Photo Block to function. Pruning the array or a block that actually works (for select albums) that has been in testing for a very long time is not indicitive to instill confidence in your site visitors (including me).

Your download section is obsolete and is difficult to know what versions of gallery they work for.
No metrics have been gathered that I can see to determine what version of gallery the majority of your site visitors are using.
No metrics have been gathered to determine the patch level of Nuke that the site's purpose is fulfilling.

By the way... new houses are a time consuming endeavor. Just got through moving 12 yards of rock to complete our landscaping. Ugh!!

The Auto PHP file in the Testing archive indeed refers to NukeWrap 1.0's Javascript to resize an iFRAME. This is the only package that is available that contains this Javascript code. So, I stand by my statement.

I will be patient; which is why I asked for a development update or some way for visitors like me that are skeptical and critical to be appeased between versions.

I am also willing to subsidize your time in the development of these blocks, and others such as Razor Navi for PHP Nuke.

I don't expect things for free and am willing to pay for them.
